31.whatever, Arena bug? feature?
« on: April 03, 2010, 11:46:58 pm »

So, i discovered how to make custom cave ins in arena (Tile of water then tile of magma over the same exact tile above an open space, doesn't work at +4)

and so whenever i do it above a double layer of occupied and open spaces, i get a hole torn through the floor, and i get random 'rock blocks' scattered around. That isn't a problem.

This however, is:

Looks like all those neglected Dwarven alchemists are getting their revenge :O

I noticed a similar thing  where "caving in" a created chunk of stone creates a cloud of stone - all stone, including soil and gems.  Furthermore, when I dropped a circle of stone around a Bronze Collosus, there were multiple "a pile of marble" objects with different stones under him - creating a similar ring with nothing in the center does not produce the same effect, so it seems that the stone actually HITS him and falls off.  You can't pick them up, though.

Also, it crashed for me afterwords.

I'm guessing this relates to how the Arena only has Rock walls and floors, and that it's drawing any kind of stone it can when necessary, producing a variety of stone.

I think it is also their reaction products, because I got metal (like iron coatings) and iron ore, plus cut gem dust.

True, but at a certain velocity the resulting explosion expels invader-bits at fatal speeds. You don't want to be dropping trogdolyte-shaped shrapnel bombs into your boneworks.
